Barenaked Ladies - The Peace Lady

Copied!

{Verse 1}
Growing up in Toronto
I'd ride with my parents wherever they'd go
She was always there above the DVP
Holding her peace sign for all to see

{Chorus}
The peace lady
The peace lady

{Verse 2}
Up by the highway where you pay your toll
By the rainbow where Peter found his pot of gold
I took my head to look out the window
She was holding her peace sign for those down below
And I just caught a glimpse

{Chorus}
Of the peace lady
The peacе lady
The peace lady
Thе peace lady

{Bridge 1}
Though I remember the cheer girl and the bike thief man
I vote for the peace lady whenever I can

{Bridge 2}
So here's to you, Paulene, and Johnny Barbs too
It's a much better place thanks to people like you

{Verse 3}
She stood in the rain, the sun, and the cold
She stood on the bridge until she got old
And though she's long gone, I still look to see
She left a lasting impression on me

{Chorus}
She's the peace lady
The peace lady

{Outro}
Peace lady, peace lady, peace lady
Peace lady, peace lady, peace lady
Peace lady, peace lady, peace lady
Peace lady, peace lady, peace lady
Peace, peace, peace, peace

Biography

edit bio

Barenaked Ladies is a Canadian rock band that was formed in Scarborough, Ontario in 1988. The band has sold more than 15 million albums worldwide and has won eight Juno Awards throughout their career.

The group originally started as a duo consisting of Steven Page and Ed Robertson, who were both counselors at a music camp. Robertson's previous band had dissolved, leading him to learn all of Page's songs and eventually start performing together. The name "Barenaked Ladies" was initially created as a one-time name for a charity gig, but the duo decided to keep it.

Their unique style of creating songs on the spot based on audience requests helped them gain popularity, and they were soon offered opening slots on regional and national tours. The addition of Andy & Jim Creeggan on percussion and bass, as well as drummer Tyler Stewart, solidified the band's lineup.

Barenaked Ladies gained national exposure when Toronto city officials deemed their name offensive, leading to coverage in major newspapers and on television. Their self-released Yellow Tape became the first independent release to achieve platinum status in Canada.

The band's breakthrough came with their album "Gordon" in 1992, which produced several hit singles including "If I Had $1,000,000" and "Brian Wilson." Subsequent albums like "Stunt" and "Maroon" solidified their success with chart-topping hits like "One Week" and "Pinch Me."

After the departure of Steven Page in 2008, the band continued to release albums and tour, achieving moderate success in North America. They reunited with Page for a performance at the 2018 Juno Awards when they were inducted into the Canadian Hall of Fame.

Barenaked Ladies' unique blend of humor and catchy melodies has endeared them to fans around the world, cementing their status as one of Canada's most successful and enduring musical acts.
